will see similarities in their lives
which will bring clarity in their
own pursuit of purpose.
Readers will learn about people
who were pioneers in their chosen
fields, as well as individuals who
picked up where others left off.
They’ll feel like cheering when they
read about their successes and feel
sadness at their losses.

money for the most essential
operating and living costs,” Mr.
Van Meter said. To be eligible for a
loan, an applicant must have
suffered losses as a direct result of
the disaster and be unable to get
credit from other sources. Loans
covering actual losses are at an
interest rate of 3.75 per cent per
annum. The amount of the loan is
determined by actual certification of
loss less any compensation
received, repayment capacity of the
borrower, and availability of
security.
Farmers and ranchers who believe
they can qualify may contact their
County FSA Office for additional
details. EM loan applications for
this designation will be accepted
